Hi,
This is related to Mark V's question.
Assume I have installed OpenSUSE 10.3 or 11 into a virtual guest machine in VMWare (or equivalent) and customised it, set it up, configured it with all my settings. Now I decide that this is ready to be installed - but in a way such that my settings are installed as well.
What is the easiest (fool-proof) way to create an 'image' or Install CD that then can be used to clone the customised system to other real or virtual machines, including my settings ?
In Yast, there is a way to get a description of your system into a file that can be used during install. It can be told to start with the current system as a template. This even has the ability to change things after this to customize the new installs, using menus like the ones used in the install process. Note that this does not make an image so much as a description that can instruct an install to do the same thing. The advantage of this is that a file like this that is set up for, say, 10.3, can be used to install a new 11.0 system set up like the 10.3 system.
Cheers, Diego
